Reyes de Aragón Restaurant

Inside the monastery

Reyes de Aragón is the restaurant of the Hotel Monasterio de Piedra, within the grounds of the old Cistercian monastery in Nuévalos. Its cooking, led by head chef Ana Dorina Boncota, uses local, seasonal produce, with a creative menu that changes with the seasons and combines dishes from Spanish and Aragonese cuisine. In good weather you eat on the Los Castaños terrace.

Lunch and dinner menus

There is a lunch menu and a dinner menu, both €28 with bread, water and VAT included, with a starter, main course and dessert. On the October 2026 lunch menu the starters included Aragón migas in the Cistercian style, white bean stew with smoked pork, boletus risotto or borage with clams; for mains, slow-cooked lamb shank, grilled Duroc pork secreto, white veal chop, baby squid in their ink or oven-baked Monastery trout; and for dessert, crema catalana, carrot cake, ice creams or sorbets.

The dinner menu changes the dishes: cannelloni with pork cheek and boletus béchamel, young beef sirloin carpaccio, "monks' croquettes", grilled local lamb chops, rosemary pork knuckle or oven-baked hake, with tiramisu or pineapple carpaccio for dessert. The menus rotate: take them as a sample.

The à la carte menu

The June 2026 carte has starters from €11 to €20, such as the traditional Monastery onion soup (€12), a board of Teruel ham with local cheeses (€17), sirloin steak tartare (€17.50) or foie micuit (€20). Main courses run from €17 to €36: butterflied sea bass, confit cod, turbot, duck breast, beef sirloin, entrecôte or roast suckling lamb shoulder (€36). Desserts are €7 to €9, such as the caramelised torrija. Bread service costs €1.50 per person. The wine list draws on the Calatayud DO, with wines from €14 a bottle, including a crianza named after the monastery.

This is the long meal of the day, after the morning in the Historic Garden Park and before visiting the Cistercian monastery with its Wine Museum.
